There will be no après-ski parties in their previous form in Austria this season. The government announced according to the “Kronenzeitung” at a press conference. “Skiing fun, yes, but not like before,” said Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. According to this, only a maximum of ten people should be allowed to move together as a group in the restaurants in the winter tourism locations. Food and drinks may only be consumed outdoors and indoors while sitting. As in other restaurants, a mask is required on the way to the square. Even in ski schools, only a maximum of ten people are allowed to come together. In addition, there should be more tests for employees in the catering industry and now also for ski instructors.
